Sorry, need to see the full list

Trek is a forward look at THIS universe, and a paradigm to explore the current human condition. In Trek, we want to see the specs on our beloved starships because at some point we expect them to WORK. In Wars, they are pretty, daring, even mindblowing designs, but we have no need for blueprints–they are fantasy. Never intended to function in this world.

The Enterprise should make sense, even if the science takes extraordinary leaps, it should still follow the understood science of the day, incorporated with the “what might be possible” science of the future. That’s why so many engineers, astronauts, military people are attracted to Trek. It represents the best of what is possible in THIS universe, within US.

Wars represents a complete departure from the “real” into realms of unreal. It is escapism. Trek is grounded in things we know, touch, see… That is one area where Abrams movie really worked.

If something familiar were ever to appear in a Wars product, it would be completely out of place. Trek’s architecture is constructed on the foundation of reality.

Both are great, enjoyable story telling platforms, but the only place they “converge” is that some of both stories take place in outer space.

A person can enjoy one franchise more than the other, but they are inherently so different, one can’t be better than the other. Just good (or bad) in different, unrelated way.

Thanks.

i grew up a Wars fan. But back then it was only about 7 hours of fun. If only the original trilogy existed…then to me…Star Wars would be batting .1000. (yes, even with the ewoks in ROTJ) But Star Wars…as a brand…has become way too diluted with crap in recent years. I re-watched the prequel trilogy last week…and though it was a little better than i remember (because i’ve personally been hard on it over the years) it still was not great by any measure. The comes the Clone Wars movie and the clone wars TV show. I have not watched either of these. I dont want to experience more disappointment. I havent mentioned the old ewoks movies…or the holiday special. But the point is: Star Wars has more bad, silly, cringe-worthy stuff than good stuff.

While Star Trek certainly isnt batting .1000 either….i feel that the overall quality and watchability of Star Trek as an entire product has surpassed Star Wars on the whole.

To me…star wars is great adventure that fills me with warm feeling when i look BACK. Star Trek fills me with wonder as i look FOWARD.

“…annoyed RoboCop was not in there.”

Yes it was, it’s #24.

I don’t say this out of cruelty, as I enjoy and love both universes and do costuming in both. It’s just so damn funny, watching the one-upmanship and oh-yeahs.

And yes. TOS miniskirts rule over Slave Leias.

32: First of all, I’m a geek and not a nerd. Remember that!
Second, who’s drooling here? I only said I *like* the girls (now I would add: if they are girls). That’s because I like TOS miniskirts. Had I been drooling I had been posting ‘I find them hot’ which I didn’t post.
Thirdly, what’s with all that Nerds vs Cool Kids crap out of American highschools, anyway? Please drop it, at least as soon as you’re out of school!

Star Trek is superior
